last update Last Updated: 2025-09-21 19:00:51

“Oh my God, she seems to be an heiress, but actually she is a thief,” a blonde girl says, lifting her glass of wine with a smug little smirk, her words loud enough for half the hall to hear. There’s a look of distaste on her face as though simply being in the same room as me offends her.

A few gasps ripple through the crowd and the whispers begin spreading like wildfire. My stomach twists but I straighten my shoulders and keep my head high.

“Kael, I would never steal,” I murmur under my breath, clutching his hand lightly.

Before I can fully prepare myself for his reaction, Kael wraps his much larger hand firmly over mine. The warmth of his grip sends a strange wave of calm through me, my heart leaping just a little. Chad would never have done this for me, not in front of so many people. He always avoided conflict, always found a way to make me feel small. But Kael, his father, doesn’t hesitate for even a second to stand beside me.

The chaos grows louder as Mrs Vermont’s sharp voice cu

  • Seducing My Ex's Ruthless Dad    Chapter 126: Shattered Hope

    Amy’s POVThe morning sun slipped through the curtains, cutting across the floor and onto Amy’s face. She blinked her eyes open, the ache in her chest still there from the night before. The space beside her was empty—cold.She sighed and pushed herself up, glancing toward the bathroom door. Kael was already dressed, fixing his cufflinks in front of the mirror. His suit was sharp, his expression unreadable.“Morning,” she said softly, standing by the door.He didn’t respond, just adjusted his tie.Amy folded her arms. “We have a board meeting at ten. Are you coming?”“I won’t be attending,” Kael said without looking at her.“What do you mean? You’re the chairperson—”“I have a business trip,” he interrupted, tone clipped. “It’s urgent.”Amy frowned. “A business trip? You didn’t tell me about it.”“Not everything needs to go through you, Amy.”His words hit her like a slap. “I wasn’t saying that,” she said quietly. “I just thought we could—”“I don’t have time for this,” Kael said, grab

    Amy’s POVAmy’s footsteps echoed faintly across the palace corridor as she made her way back from the gym. The weight of what had just happened pressed on her chest like a vice. Evan’s lips had brushed hers—just for a second—but that second replayed in her mind over and over again.She had gone there to breathe, to think, to escape Kael’s silence. Instead, she’d almost made a mistake she couldn’t take back.Her fingers trembled as she reached for the door to their suite. The palace was quiet, the halls bathed in silver light from the chandeliers. Every sound felt too loud against the silence—her heartbeat, the faint squeak of her shoes, the whisper of her breath.Kael’s car was in the driveway. He was home.Amy took a shaky breath and stepped inside their room. The lights were off, only the moonlight spilling in through the large windows. Kael lay on his side, facing the wall, his bare shoulders tense beneath the sheets.She froze for a moment, watching him. Even in the dark, she coul

    Amy’s POVThe air around them was heavy, quiet except for the faint hum of the night. Evan’s words still echoed in her chest—Start where it hurts the most.Amy swallowed hard, trying to keep her emotions steady, but her body refused to listen. Her heart was racing, pounding so hard it felt like it might tear through her chest.Evan was still standing close, his eyes fixed on her face. There was something in his gaze that made her pulse skip—something dangerous and gentle at the same time.“Evan…” she whispered, her voice barely a breath.He looked down at her, jaw tight, his hand half-raised like he was fighting himself. “I can’t stand seeing you cry like this, Amy.”“I’m fine,” she said quickly, though the tremor in her tone betrayed her.“No, you’re not,” he said, stepping closer. “You keep saying you’re fine when you’re falling apart inside. He’s breaking you, and you’re still protecting him.”Her lips parted, but no words came out. His voice, his closeness—everything felt like too

  • Seducing My Ex's Ruthless Dad    Chapter 123: Breaking Point

    Amy’s POVThe night breeze brushed against Amy’s skin, cool yet heavy, as if the air itself carried her sorrow. Evan stood in front of her, his face unreadable beneath the faint glow of the courtyard lights.For a while, neither of them spoke. Then Amy’s chest began to tremble, her throat tightening as she tried to hold it all in. But the ache was too much. The pressure inside her burst like a dam—tears spilled freely down her cheeks.“Hey…” Evan’s voice softened, but before he could say anything more, Amy stepped forward and threw her arms around him.“I just—” her voice cracked against his chest, “I don’t understand why he’s lying to me. Why would he say there’s nothing going on when I saw it, Evan? Why would he lie that he doesn’t miss her?”Her body trembled against his. Evan didn’t move, didn’t take advantage—he only wrapped his arms slowly around her, firm but gentle, grounding her through the storm she was drowning in.She sobbed harder, the sound muffled against him.Evan exha

  • Seducing My Ex's Ruthless Dad    Chapter 122: Instincts

    Amy’s POVThe night air pressed cool against Amy’s skin as she and Cassandra stepped out of the restaurant. Streetlights shimmered on the wet pavement, the city quiet and alive in soft gold.Cassandra turned to her with a small, reassuring smile. “Don’t worry too much, Amy. Give it the benefit of doubt. I know Kael would never disappoint you, not in a million years.”Amy managed a faint smile, though her chest felt tight.Cassandra reached out and hugged her. “And once again, thank you—for the protection you’ve been offering me lately. I feel safer now. Truly.”Amy pulled back slightly, her voice gentle. “Anything for you, Cass. You’ve proven that people can change, no matter their past. You’re not defined by your mistakes.”Cassandra’s eyes glimmered as she nodded. “Goodnight, Amy.”“Goodnight.”Amy stood for a moment watching her friend disappear down the street, then turned to her car. When the door shut, silence filled the space. She picked up her phone and dialed Kael’s number.O

  • Seducing My Ex's Ruthless Dad    Chapter 121: Secret Lover?

    Amy’s POVThe air between Kael and me felt colder than ever. I couldn’t look at him without feeling the sting of anger rise in my chest. He had been distant for days, and though I’d tried to speak to him, every word felt like a wall between us. Now, I was done trying. If he wanted silence, I would give it to him.At breakfast, he spoke, but I didn’t answer. At lunch, he tried to start a conversation, but I kept my eyes fixed on my plate. Even in the gym, when he passed by me with that hard, unbothered look, I didn’t flinch. The silence was louder than any argument we’d ever had.By the time I was done with my workout, sweat clinging to my skin, I needed a shower more than I needed to breathe. Kael was nowhere in sight, but his phone sat on the counter, face down. I had never once thought of going through it. I trusted him—or at least, I used to. I brushed past it, grabbed my towel, and walked to the shower.The warm water ran down my body, washing away the tension, but not the thought
